colts, after Ill. and ,ha, those who have
held him up to show ,ha, = "dunahilI
stallion /. jas, IS likely to get nice stock
.s . good bred one. will hnd themselves
l,ft again. In nearly all cases where
an animal Of unkno~n breeding Ia.
proved itself to be possessed OF unusual
merit, /, has been found. on tracing ii'
pedigree. ih., the good qualities have
been inherited from ancestors noted for
the same good qualities.
While a, Oxford. reeenily. We called
on Mr.. Hind.. and found At his stable
four very promising colts. 80, by this
horse. from three t. five years old iti'
spring. al Of good .,yle and re.embleins
their sire very closely In color. sis; aud
shape. and sll having some speed. The
ye.ysn.old showed by the watch last
year hi. capacity to bea, $40. aud Mr.
Hind. refused ii, hundred dollars last
.prins for . ihree.year-old. lie has =
half brother TO thi, colt. year younger.
,hs, bid. fair to make fine mate. being
exactly ike him in color and shape.
They are both seal brown with two white
.nkIe.. some v bite 10 face. aud each one
has a white eye. The olds., one stand.
6fieen aud ,hree.fourihs hands high. and
the younger one i' growing TO II. The
old horse stand. fifteen aud three-fourih'
hand. high AMI has = toe set OF limbs.
Hi. colts, 90 fn |. We have seen. are
al large and fne. regardless Of the sire
Il their dams. One Of the last OF this
horse. ge, is the bay hlly. Alert, foaled
IN 1884, owned by George Jones OF Or
ford, and whose dam is small bay mare
Of unknown breeding. owned a, Otishsld.

in the ,wo.ye.r-old race At the State
Fair bu, was driven to break jas, +.
.he passed under the wire. and before
.he vas 90, TO uo,,ins again she Was 90
f.r behind that she was dis,aneed in the
ds, heat. IL Was afterwards ascertain
ID that her driver managed this way on
purpose to ge, her out Of the race. She
ga. entered TO ,rot AZ our County Fair.
ou, va. sick and did no, ,rot IL is to be
hoped ihA, circumstances will favor her
more during the coming season.
Mr.. Jouss also has nice looking six'
yesr-old mare Of Knox blood. that be
~ould like TO cell. She is sound and
right. and can show $50.

dne one. and as Mr. Bo~ksr offers to cell

Til. Waterman, Of Mechanic Falls, al
90 owned one Of these colts which h'
.old for four hundred dollars.
Hinds horse hs. had nearly all ordi'
.u mares bu, regardless Of ~ha, ih'
